The value of quality EVO Oil
Olive oil is for many a common food, it is actually a super food, in some cases it can even fall into the category of nutraceutical foods, when it contains more than 250 mg / kg of polyphenols (biophenols). We use it almost without realizing that it is one of the finest products we have, but we must not forget that since it is a high value product, it is consequently subject to possible counterfeits and therefore the only weapon that the consumer has is to turn to a small producer that produces its own extra virgin olive oil, preferably certified and analyzed.
Meanwhile, the results of the analyzes carried out on the new oil have arrived, confirming the exceptional quality of our Aroldo EVO BIO oil.
How to recognize a hight quality EVO oil?
Just take a few but very important parameters as a reference.
ACIDITY: the lower its value, the higher the quality of the product, in an extra virgin olive oil the acidity must not exceed 0.80%. Olio Aroldo has 0.17% acidity.
PEROXIDES: These are oxidative alterations, degradation and aging of the oil. The lower its value, the higher the quality of the product. It must never exceed 20 mEq 02 / kg. Olio Aroldo reached 6 mEq O2 / kg
TOTAL POLYPHENOLS (BIOPHENOLS): They are among the most precious components of extra virgin olive oil, unique among vegetable fats to be rich in it. The minimum quantity of polyphenols or biophenols in an extra virgin olive oil is 150 mg / kg. The greater the quantity, the higher the quality of the oil. Olio Aroldo has set the value at 577 mg / kg.
The analyzes carried out at the CAIM GROUP Laboratory in Follonica confirm that our oil is free from pesticides and pesticides . In short, it is a 100% natural product.
In relation to the certifications, we remind you that our company is periodically subject to regular control inspections that are carried out in every link of its production chain: sampling and analysis of the soil, olives and oil.
This is, for consumers, the guarantee of the certainty that organic Aroldo EVO Oil is a genuine product of quality , controlled according to the standards of European directives which, for today, they are among the most rigid and restrictive in the world.
At the same time, this, for us, is the guarantee of the certainty that we continue to produce quality using, only and exclusively, natural biological processes.
